Out of sight, out of mind
“Out of sight, /
out of mind.”
Some things are excluded
from the news head lines.
A population under control,
by restrictions of what we see.’
Media manipulation guiding us to,
what we should believe.
-----------------------------
Providing us with only,
a highly scripted view.
On every paper and T.V. channel,
of the daily news.
Unseen images lay edited,
on the studio floor.
Pictures showing another story,
of so much more.
-----------------------------
And what we are fed
is a clean / political face.
A sanitized version,
to the general populace.
‘Deception’ but arguably,
not strictly a lie.
Essential facts kept from,
the public eye.
-----------------------------
And so it’s, ‘out of sight, /
out of mind.’
Keeping the population,
ignorant and blind.
Out of sight, /
Out of mind.
Being fed,
The scripted line.
